The winter brochure will be available in the Brown County Reminder on Monday, January 7. It will also be on the school website during that week as well.

A 55 Alive renewal class is scheduled for Wednesday, January 16, 1-5 p.m. Then an eight hour first time class is planned for Monday, January 28 and Tuesday, January 29, 5:30-9:30 p.m. Six more offerings will be held through May.

Those interested in knitting or crochet classes are encouraged to begin coming on Friday afternoons, 3:30-5 p.m. starting January 4. All skill levels are invited. Learning how to do basic stitches and reading a pattern continue to be a focus.
